Kolkata, Mar 14 (PTI) Senior Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee tonight called up Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee and they are likely to hold final round of talks tomorrow to resolve differences over seat sharing between the two parties for the Assembly polls in West Bengal.
"Yes, the Union Finance Minister (Mukherjee) telephoned our party leader. I have heard that he is coming to Kolkata tomorrow and the two are likely to have a meeting (on seat sharing)," Trinamool Congress General Secretary Mukul Roy, a close confidante of Mamata, told PTI.
The first round of formal talks between the two parties was held in New Delhi yesterday.
Sources in Delhi said the Congress, which earlier demanded 100 seats, is likely to agree on contesting 70 plus seats. Trinamool Congress has revised its offer from 45 to 64 seats.
